Positioned on the second floor with lift access, the open-plan living/dining room and large double bedroom both enjoy pleasant views over the River Welland and Memorial Gardens.

The interior is modern and well presented, with a fitted kitchen, shower room, additional owner-installed secondary glazing and neutral décor throughout. Practical features include resident-only off-street parking, secure mobility scooter charging and laundry facilities. Broadband and mobile signals are strong, and the train and bus stations plus shops and cafes are all within easy walking distance.
Buyers should note this is a leasehold retirement property with around 116 years remaining. The annual service charge and ground rent are significant and will affect running costs: the listed service charge is £3,127.58 and ground rent £653.04 per year. Heating is provided via an electric community scheme, which may differ from individual gas heating costs.
This property will suit a buyer seeking an independent retirement base close to town amenities and transport links, prioritising convenience, communal support and open views. It offers comfortable, move-in ready accommodation but carries ongoing leasehold charges and communal energy arrangements that prospective purchasers should budget for.
